Statistic teaching and learning in institutions involves the use of statistical software to help analyzing data. For university students, the software is mostlyused for the Final Assignment research. The two most commonly used software
by Atma Jaya Industrial Engineering’s students are Minitab and SPSS. The objective of this research is to compare the two statistical softwares, Minitab and SPSS, with usability aspect for nonparametric subject. Usability has been known and applied widely in product and system development. In this
research, usability variables that are used for comparison are based on ISO standards, which are effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction. The three
variables are evaluated by users while they are using the software. Data collection was subject to 20 respondents who are students of Atma Jaya Industrial Engineering. There are criterions to meet as a respondent, which are the student has passed Industrial Statistic I and Industrial Statistic II Class
and is taking or has passed Industrial Statistic and Decison Making Practice
Usability Testing is held by giving 7 nonparametric problems to be done and
preference questionnaires to be filled by the respondent. The data is divided into
two parts, performance data and preference data. Performance data is used to
measure effectiveness and efficiency while preference data is used to measure
